Eternal pyaar

Captivated

2 days later,

"BHAIYAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Siya yelled from her room as Bhushan came flying down the stairs, holding her BTS official album with a wide grin spread on his face. He went up to the kitchen's dustbin and kept the album inches from there. Anjali and Rahul gazed at each other, a sigh escaping their lips seconds later. Vaishant and Jinay, even though they wanted to protect their baby sister, just shook their heads and laid on the couch.

Siya came rushing down the stairs with Bhushan's brand new expensive nike studs and held them out the window. The colour drained from Bhushan's space as he managed to call out,

"Princess, don't." Vaishant and Jinay gave him a pointed look.

"Oh so I'm princess now? Achanak thi?" Diya taunted, raising her eyebrows.

(Suddenly?)

"Accha ok baba, I'm sorry, now get the shoes back inside the window." He said, ounces of worry flowing in his words.

"You surrender my album first."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No!"

"Yes!"

"NO!" Bhushan said as he leapt towards Diya in urgency, who made an action of making the shoes slip but didn't actually do it. Bhushan groaned as Diya smirked and held out her palm, indicating to return the album.

Bhushan placed the album on her palm as Diya held it tightly to her chest and then ran away to the laundry room- which bhushan hated- to place the shoes.

"Hey- Diya! I should have known! Argh!" He whined and stomped his foot as Diya came back with an innocent smile on her face.

"It's in the laundry room, if you want it back." She said, sending a soft smile to him. She sat down on the table and served herself some poha, freshly made by Vaishant.

Bhushan made a face and muttered something under his breath, heading towards the laundry room with great displeasure.

The two siblings bid their goodbyes to Vaishant and entered the tall iron gate of their school, where they were greeted by their friends who were longing to meet them.

"Hiiee babyyy" Aarushi squealed to Diya as she reciprocated.

"Hiii darlingg"

As everyone exchanged greetings, the 6 of them went inside the assembly hall and to their respective lines.

"Where's your brother?" Diya asked aarushi.

"He's running late, his alarm didn't go off"

"Kya is aadmi ko mera bhoot chad gaya hai? Ye to hamara kamkaz hai, unka to nhi" Diya replied as kavya snickered and high fived her.

(Has my ghost transferred to him? This is our usual act, not his)

"Dekh waha hi hai, aapke swami" Aayush bent down and whispered to Diya. Her eyes followed the trace of his hand, ending up at the door of the hall. Her eyes widened as she saw Yash's hair in a mess, his shirt half tucked and tie draped around his shoulders.
